Big thanks to Diego and his Mom for this lovely recipe that I make over and over again
Pão de Queijo (Cheese Bread)
- 0.5kg of sour tapioca flour (can be found in the Portuguese shop)
- 1-2 big potatoes cooked & smashed
- 1 tea spoon of salt
- Mix the above very well.
In a separate bowl:
- 1-2 eggs
- 125ml of corn oil
- 250ml of milk
- 250grs of Gruyere cheese
Mix everything very well! Make small balls.
You can either freeze for later it or to cook – put in the oven at 200C degrees and bake until “slightly golden” (around 15 mins)
Enjoy!!
